Personalized care for your dog or cat - Mapleton
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Mapleton
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! It was our first time using Rover for our 9 month old pup and Michael and Melanie completely exceeded expectations. Walks, hikes, pictures, and so much love! They truly made our pup apart of their family. We couldn’t thank them enough. Also want to mention their sweet, patient lab Mojo for being so good to our pup. If you’re looking for the best care for your pup, look no further!”
“Mariah kept me updated with pics and texts on a daily basis. She said my 2 big German Sheperds were no problem and great to handle. Her responses to my check-ins were quick and great. I will definitely book with Mariah again. You can't go wrong with her pet care. Thank You, Mariah.”
“Tess and Curt were absolutely amazing. Easily some of the best people that have ever cared for my dog, Honey! They provided the best environment for her and were incredibly diligent about making sure they were familiar with her schedule, behavior, and personality before she even arrived. Their dog, Finn, was also a joy and the best playmate for Honey. I loved knowing that she was getting so much interaction and stimulation! They also spent a TON of time with Honey and sent me multiple pictures, videos, and updates every day! I never worried about Honey once. I would choose them over and over again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, safe, and involved family to care for their dog. I can’t say enough good things about them!”
“Ryan and family were wonderful with our 5-year-old labrador retriever. Sasha was well taken care of, and she had plenty of play time with the pups of the house. Recommend highly.”
“Katie took great care of my pup over the weekend. She sent pictures and updates throughout to keep me at ease. My dog needs medication and eye drops (3 different kinds, multiple times a day at the time of the booking) and Katie made sure he got everything he needed. I'll definitely be using her services again!”
“Michelle (and her family) were great with taking my dog (Great Dane) very last minute for a few days. They treated my pup like he was their own, kept me up to date and made me feel comfortable with him there as this was our first time having to take our dog to someone outside our family. I would highly recommend Michelle.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover, and have grown up with pets my whole life, I’ve had 2 dogs since I was 7, but I’ve also had birds, fish, bunnies, and a tortoise. While I haven’t worked professionally as a sitter, I have years of hands-on experience with pets. Taking care of my own, as well as pet sitting for friends. I’ve taken care of senior dogs as well as puppies, and have volunteered at animal shelters. I’m a recent Penn State grad with a very flexible schedule. I’m at home most days, since I’m studying for some finance exams, so pets in my care are never left alone for long and always have plenty of attention and company I live in a cozy apartment with a private terrace (picture in profile), perfect for some fresh air and sun. I keep a calm, clean home and treat every pet like my own. I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents always know how their fur baby is doing. I live with 2 other roommates who are also animal lovers, one of them also being a verified Rover sitter, so there’s plenty of love and attention for the pets to go around
“Jodi and Bruce treated our fur baby like one of the family, exactly what we were hoping for in finding a home away from home for her. She looks forward to a return stay, and we'll be confident leaving her in their care.”
“10/10 recommend Brooke! Our senior dog had a great stay with her. She sends photos and lots of updates and he returned so happy! Will be booking again for sure. Thanks Brooke!”
About: Work from home, so have the time to dedicate to the care of your pet. Also have a large yard with electronic fencing, can pamper your pets as much as allowed. I work from home so can pet sit and ensure the pets are well taken care of. Experienced in several areas of pet care, not to worry about your baby being well taken care of. :D Can provide pet care daily or overnight stays, not a problem. Have a yard and quiet neighborhood to take walks and pay in the yard. Well taken care of for the day or night!
About: I grew up taking care of pets for neighbors and family, and have had many of my own. At home now, I have our dog Kona and a bearded dragon named Norbert, plus two kids. I'm comfortable with caring for all dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I'd love to send you photos and updates if you would like so you know how things are going while you are away. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I'm home most of the day, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I absolutely love taking walks so we will be doing plenty of those. If your pet needs a specific feeding or potty schedule, just let me know and I'll stick to it. Our yard isn't fenced, so your dog will go out on leash for walks and potty breaks several times a day. My Dog is super friendly and always up for a new friend. If your pup prefers quiet time or needs a crate to decompress, I can absolutely make that happen as well. I will go over your dogs preferences when I get a chance to talk with you. I'm more than happy to make accommodations to fit your pets needs.
“Laura was fantastic with Tasha, she sent me updates and photos, walked her a couple of times a day. Tasha had a nice time staying overnight. But mostly, i loved that her boy enjoyed having her in his house :)”
“Jessica and her family were amazing sitters for our Labrador "Bella!" We couldn't have asked for a nicer or kinder family to entrust our fury family member. Bella loved her time with Jessica leaving my wife and I comforted to know she was in good care! Highly recommend Jessica for any pet sitting services. She took the time to periodically send videos and photos during Bella's stay. This further secured our trust that Bella was in good hands and allowed my wife and I to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use Jessica again!”
“Katrina was an absolute blessing while watching our senior dog, Fudge. We were away for our daughter's graduation and she made sure we could be fully present without a second of worry. She took Fudge on gentle walks tailored to his pace, and constantly sent the sweetest videos and photos that had us smiling the whole weekend. You can tell she truly loves senior dogs — she was patient, attentive, and treated Fudge like her own. Returning to a happy, relaxed pup was the best graduation gift we could ask for. We trust Katina 100% and will be booking her again. If you have a senior dog, she’s your person!”
“Our dog seemed to fall in love with Kevin. We also think he came home with better manners than we left him! Kevin had good communication with us both in arranging the care and while we were away. We definitely hope to leave our dog with Kevin in the future.”
About: Looking forward to meet your dog! I love to spend time outdoors, especially hiking and long walks. Experienced in pet sitting and walking in the past. I'm currently working in a research lab from 10-1 during the weekdays, along with practice in the morning. Open to walks in the afternoon.

About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with a soft spot for all creatures—furry, scaly, or spidery.

I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.
About: My name is Rhianna and like you, I care a great deal about animals! I have plenty of experience ranging from providing volunteer services as a child with my mother in our local SPCA to volunteering for multiple rescue groups, working with all different breeds, sizes and ages. I'm experienced with felines as well! A typical day for your "fur-baby" consists of whatever requirements you, as their parent, requests along with plenty of cuddles, play and positive re-enforcement training. Your pet will be loved as my own while in my care. At most times, I will be having my significant other, Jeremiah, accompany me as he shares my love and passion for animals and their well-being. What makes me stand out is my ability to gain trust, respect and my dedication to ensure every animal I'm given the opportunity to care for feels loved and safe. I cant wait to meet you and your beloved pets! currently, i work from home and spend the days with our border collie, Fynn and our pibble, Blaze. We live in a two story home with a decent yard and 6-8 kids running around, ready to play or cuddle. I will provide your pet with my undivided attention, care and love.

“Jason stayed in touch, completed the "drop in" exactly as we asked, did a great job with 3 dogs with 3 completely different temperments. We recommend Jason and we will trust him with our dogs again.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.
About: While growing up, my parents fostered many greyhounds. I assisted with training, walks, and over all care! I love pups of all shapes and ages! I have an Australian Shepard named Levee. I care for all his needs daily. We get exercise by going on 2-4 hiking trails a week. I would prefer coming to you. I want your pups comfortable and in THIER space. Whatever you need! Walks, playing, or just keeping them company!
About: Hi, I'm Suzie and I'll turn 62 this month... That is almost how long that I've been a pet owner from dogs, cats, horses, ponies, chickens cows, peacocks.. I'm also a Registered Nurse who worked critical care for 11 years and have been an RN for 35 years. I'm very comfortable with injections, and giving meds, assessing the animal and knowing when to call a vet. I have a Newfoundland here and a newfie/great dane cross, 3 house cats, and then the rest of the animals outside. The dog yard has a pet door that leads into a small area in my kitchen that is currently fenced off so no one gets free run of the house unless supervised. They can come and go back and forth as much as they want to. My back yard is lined with 4 board fencing that also has American wire in the inside to keep little ones in. I'm currently working flex at the hospital so I'm actually home almost all the time. I have a roommate that helps with the farm and the dogs when I'm not here. I'm a home body so I'm home here almost all the time. I have a 4 board fenced in yard that is also lined on the inside with American wire for my yard and have chains on the gates leading into and out of the yard. My fence is 5 ft high. There is a pet door leading into the kitchen which has a small fenced in area inside the kitchen so that the dogs can be contained just in case they are wet. I allow them into the house once they are dry.
“Pam was wonderful with our three cats. She went above and beyond caring for them. Pam even brushed and groomed the cats. Pam always showed up on time, played with the cats and kept us well informed with pictures and texts. She was very respectful of our home, we would Highly recommend Pam for any sitting job.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Mapleton
“Watson had a great experience with Mike and his crew. I was looking for a sitter to keep watch of Watson for an afternoon while I explored the mountain bike trails at Raystown lake. Mike lives super super close to the trailhead so that was very convenient. He took great care of Watson giving him multiple walks and kept me informed with regular updates. Will definitely be reaching out to Mike next time I am back to the area.”
“Denika was a wonderful dog sitter! Very communicative with photos, videos and texts! She was very helpful with time flexibility since our travel times were estimated for our child’s move in day at Penn St. We will be scheduling her help again when we are back in town!!”
“Katie and family took the best care of my puppy during her first ever day care outing. She had a blast playing in the spacious fenced back yard and Katie was nice enough to send me a cute update photo while I was at work. Skye was happily asleep before I was even down their street and heading home. I would definitely schedule with her again!”
“Tess and Curt have been amazing to work with. As a travel nurse with an anxious pup, they have put us both at ease by being consistent and supportive. They always vet other dogs they are working with to make sure they will get along and be safe. I appreciate their diligence.”
“My dog, Mr. Cow Cow had a wonderful day with Sarah! She immediately made him feel right at home. he had fun playing with Sarah‘s dog and Sarah sent me updates and pictures along the way.I was worried he might not want to leave when I came back to pick him up! 🤣😂”
About: I love to spend time with animals. I am known for spoiling my pets. Let me spoil yours! I have a very open availability, I am willing to work around your schedule, and I have my own reliable transportation. I am a patient, kind and respectful dog and cat owner, willing to work with your pets. I have extended experience with senior dogs, and am respectful of their limitations and needs. I have experience administering both oral and suppository medications, diapering and dogs in heat. I am open to many pet related activities. I have taken pets to the groomers and veterinarian, as well as helped at events such as weddings and parties, when people want their pets to be there or involved. Please don’t hesitate to ask, because we can probably make it happen! I am comfortable caring for many different animals. Living on a farm, I have years of experience with and am comfortable caring for many animals, including cats, dogs, horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs, and fish. I am available as much or as little as you need for your animals! Please reach out, because I would love to meet your pets! I can normally respond very quickly, but there can be some noticeable lags on Rover updating information and conversations. Please be patient. If you are booking during a Penn State activity, game, holiday, etc., I will charge the holiday rate, as they are highly sought after times and traffic can be rough. I am a full-time pet care provider. I have Monday - Friday regular clients, but usually can accommodate your pet’s needs if you provide adequate notice. Typically if your pet can be left alone for 2-4 hours then I can help you. I am able to offer a number of more premium services, such as 24/7 pet care and out of town house sitting, but that takes a lot of forethought and planning. I will not accept a request without meeting you and your pet(s) first. This gives us an opportunity to go over all your pet’s needs and your questions. Number one question I get - will you be bringing your dog to my home? Sometimes this is out of curiosity, sometimes they like the idea of their pet having a buddy, but usually it is a safety concern. My dog will never enter your home. When I house sit overnight my dog stays with my sister. She is perfectly happy there and I don’t have to split my focus. My job is to focus on YOUR pet! During walks and in general, I do not allow dogs to interact with people or other dogs/pets. This is a big safety concern, as I often know nothing about other people/pets in the area. I do not take those types of liberties with your pets. We will instead turn a corner, cross the street, come back the way we came, or I politely inform them that ‘this is not my dog’, ‘we don’t have time today’, etc.
“We left our dogs with Mariah while we attended a birthday party. She was very nice, and had a great environment for the dogs including a fenced in back yard. Mariah took very good care of them and sent me a few videos and pics (which was very much appreciated) of them playing and resting. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again! Thank you Mariah!!”

Other then that, I am home and will be with the dog at all times My apartment is very large with plenty of room for any size dog to roam around. It also has a huge back yard for them to play!

“Justin did a wonderful job with Charlie during his stay, and provided great video and photo documentation throughout the day. As new puppy owners, we appreciate his expertise and will be using his services again!”
About: With 20 years of dog sitting experience, I have a lifelong passion for caring for dogs of all ages. I started dog sitting when I was 14 and have since provided overnight and drop-in services. Having grown up with dogs, I've helped train four puppies and nannied for a family with a senior dog for four years. My experience includes administering medication and catering to the unique needs of both puppies and senior dogs and everything in between. I am dedicated to offering reliable, compassionate, and professional care for your furry friends. I work remotely part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility each day to provide dedicated care, attention, and companionship for your furry friend. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety and well-being. Dogs are always taken out on a leash to ensure their safety. I assume all dogs are not friendly unless told otherwise, ensuring a cautious and respectful approach to each new dog. I am knowledgeable about foods that are toxic to dogs and take great care to prevent them from consuming anything harmful. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement, rewarding good behavior rather than punishing the bad, to foster a trusting and happy relationship with the dogs I care for.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was young and have had experience in dealing with puppies up to senior dogs. I have experience watching and caring for friends' and families' dogs. I love walking dogs and playing with them. I've personally had 4 dogs at a time, all senior, and have taken care of their various needs to give them a happy and healthy life. I have lots of time on tuesdays and fridays between studying and school work to care for your pets. Weekends are always open to see your furry friends. When I had pets, they were treated like they were part of the family. I have no problem making sure that with whatever needs your pet may require they get the best attention and care possible!
About: My family has always had dogs and cats, the first dog was a pug/beagle cross, then a boxer/rottweiler cross, then two purebred border collies and a cocker spaniel. The cats were just your avarage barn cat but they were fat, sleek, healthy, and very well loved and taken care of. I grew up playing fetch and hide and seek with the dogs and sneaking the cats inside the house whenever I had the chance. We raised a few litters of border collie puppies and also a few litters of cocker spaniel puppies so I definitely have experience taking care of puppies. I love any animals, whether it's a huge dog, tiny puppy, or sassy cat. I'll do my best to make sure your pet is comfortable and well taken care of! Shoot me a text and I'll get back to you as soon as possible! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment so I don’t need much of a heads-up. Just shoot me a text and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! I will be willing to care for your fur babies in your home as my apartment has a "no pets" policy. I apologize for any inconvenience!

“Jason has been such a pro. our dog Zoey just loves when he comes over. Zoey had a rocky start with a stranger walking her but has fallen in love with Jason. It has been such a help. Thanks”
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.
About: While growing up, my parents fostered many greyhounds. I assisted with training, walks, and over all care! I love pups of all shapes and ages! I have an Australian Shepard named Levee. I care for all his needs daily. We get exercise by going on 2-4 hiking trails a week. I would prefer coming to you. I want your pups comfortable and in THIER space. Whatever you need! Walks, playing, or just keeping them company!
About: Hello! I’m passionate about exploring the outdoors and have spent years training on a horse farm, where I’ve loved being around animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m thrilled to be here and excited to meet new friends! I provide both ground and air pet transportation, offering 24/7 availability (with booking days closed off in advance). Just tell me when and where, and I’m ready to travel, even for overnight stays. Building a strong connection with your pet is my top priority. I am reliable, trustworthy, and committed to ensuring your furry family member gets the best care possible!
About: I've lived with pets all my life and while I’ve only had one human roommate in the last 30 years, I've always had a least one cat up until 2018. I LOVE cats (esp kittens), and am quite comfortable around dogs as well (I love them too, just not in all capitals, LOL). When I first started pet sitting, I thought I preferred cats to dogs, but the past few years have enabled me to expand in my love of, and comfort with dogs (but please don't tell the cats that)! I also used to 'lease' a horse in my youth and have experience with birds, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs. I DON'T like snakes or insects (sorry!) In the last 12 years I’ve volunteered with several rescues as a cat/kitten foster and I'm known to be particularly good with feral kittens and cats. I'm really good with walking (dogs mostly), dispensing medications, and loving attention, but I'm not a pushover when it comes to treats from the table (that's a no-no) staying on leash when required, and letting them know I mean business when necessary. I don't believe in EVER striking or punishing animals and seem to fall in love with them all. I’ve been a house and pet sitter on the site “Trusted Housesitters” since 2018 and have over 21 positive reviews there. I’m recently retired (yet surprisingly busy). I don’t do a lot of night driving, but am otherwise generally available. I’m a stickler about being on time, and keeping dates I commit to. My preference is for cats to remain indoors at all times at my house, and dogs always on a lead when outside. I have a variety of crate sizes here, and am totally comfortable with your fur kids riding in my car, lounging on my furniture, and/or sleeping in my bed. I have all wood floors, plenty of cat litter pans and bowls for food and water. My yard is not fenced but I have easy access to neighborhood parks.

“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! It was our first time using Rover for our 9 month old pup and Michael and Melanie completely exceeded expectations. Walks, hikes, pictures, and so much love! They truly made our pup apart of their family. We couldn’t thank them enough. Also want to mention their sweet, patient lab Mojo for being so good to our pup. If you’re looking for the best care for your pup, look no further!”
“Mariah kept me updated with pics and texts on a daily basis. She said my 2 big German Sheperds were no problem and great to handle. Her responses to my check-ins were quick and great. I will definitely book with Mariah again. You can't go wrong with her pet care. Thank You, Mariah.”
“Tess and Curt were absolutely amazing. Easily some of the best people that have ever cared for my dog, Honey! They provided the best environment for her and were incredibly diligent about making sure they were familiar with her schedule, behavior, and personality before she even arrived. Their dog, Finn, was also a joy and the best playmate for Honey. I loved knowing that she was getting so much interaction and stimulation! They also spent a TON of time with Honey and sent me multiple pictures, videos, and updates every day! I never worried about Honey once. I would choose them over and over again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, safe, and involved family to care for their dog. I can’t say enough good things about them!”
“Ryan and family were wonderful with our 5-year-old labrador retriever. Sasha was well taken care of, and she had plenty of play time with the pups of the house. Recommend highly.”
“Katie took great care of my pup over the weekend. She sent pictures and updates throughout to keep me at ease. My dog needs medication and eye drops (3 different kinds, multiple times a day at the time of the booking) and Katie made sure he got everything he needed. I'll definitely be using her services again!”
“Michelle (and her family) were great with taking my dog (Great Dane) very last minute for a few days. They treated my pup like he was their own, kept me up to date and made me feel comfortable with him there as this was our first time having to take our dog to someone outside our family. I would highly recommend Michelle.”
“10/10 recommend Brooke! Our senior dog had a great stay with her. She sends photos and lots of updates and he returned so happy! Will be booking again for sure. Thanks Brooke!”
About: Work from home, so have the time to dedicate to the care of your pet. Also have a large yard with electronic fencing, can pamper your pets as much as allowed. I work from home so can pet sit and ensure the pets are well taken care of. Experienced in several areas of pet care, not to worry about your baby being well taken care of. :D Can provide pet care daily or overnight stays, not a problem. Have a yard and quiet neighborhood to take walks and pay in the yard. Well taken care of for the day or night!
About: I grew up taking care of pets for neighbors and family, and have had many of my own. At home now, I have our dog Kona and a bearded dragon named Norbert, plus two kids. I'm comfortable with caring for all dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I'd love to send you photos and updates if you would like so you know how things are going while you are away. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I'm home most of the day, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I absolutely love taking walks so we will be doing plenty of those. If your pet needs a specific feeding or potty schedule, just let me know and I'll stick to it. Our yard isn't fenced, so your dog will go out on leash for walks and potty breaks several times a day. My Dog is super friendly and always up for a new friend. If your pup prefers quiet time or needs a crate to decompress, I can absolutely make that happen as well. I will go over your dogs preferences when I get a chance to talk with you. I'm more than happy to make accommodations to fit your pets needs.
“Laura was fantastic with Tasha, she sent me updates and photos, walked her a couple of times a day. Tasha had a nice time staying overnight. But mostly, i loved that her boy enjoyed having her in his house :)”
“Our dog seemed to fall in love with Kevin. We also think he came home with better manners than we left him! Kevin had good communication with us both in arranging the care and while we were away. We definitely hope to leave our dog with Kevin in the future.”
“Madison was such a great sitter for our doggy Sky! Our flight home even got unexpectedly cancelled and she made accommodations to extend her stay decreasing my stress over the situation. Madison even gave me updates on how sky was doing and my dog came home happy and not nervous at all, which i appreciate in a sitter. I would highly recommend her for any future dog sitting because she was absolutely wonderful!”
“Diesel had a great getting to play with David's two Shepards and a Burmese Mountain dog. He was very easy to communicate with and took awesome care of my pup. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“Left my cat with alone for the first time with this awesome pet sitter. So personable and communicates awesome and with cute pictures:) will only book with her moving forward due to such success!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, at least 8 over the years, plus 9 puppies we rehomed to better lives. My mom and I were always the type to stop for any dog that needed help, so caring for them just became second nature to me. I was always the go-to in my family when it came to looking after them, no matter how many we had at once. Your dog will be in hands that genuinely love them. I have a flexible schedule so I'm available pretty much anytime. If you're able to book it, I'm always there and ready. I care for pets in my home and treat them like my own. I make sure they're comfortable, well fed, and never left feeling alone. I offer walks, boarding, and daycare.
About: I have cared for many different types of animals since I was a child. Dogs, cats, bunnies, rats and hamsters. Fostered and lived with many dogs. I currently have dogs and cats. They are the joy of my life especially since the kids (and grand dogs) have grown and moved. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs and 2 cats to keep the fur guests company. Lots of play time in the fenced back yard. And snuggles on the couch.
